Dairy testing refers to the process of analyzing milk and dairy products to ensure they meet regulatory, safety, and quality standards. This includes testing for contaminants, pathogens, adulterants, antibiotics, pesticides, and nutritional content. The demand for dairy testing services has risen significantly, with growing consumer awareness regarding foodborne illnesses and health concerns. Governments and food regulatory authorities across the world have implemented strict guidelines to monitor dairy product quality, thereby fueling dairy testing market growth. Various testing techniques such as chromatography, spectrometry, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and immunoassay-based methods are widely used in dairy testing to ensure dairy safety.

The rising consumer awareness regarding food safety and quality is propelling the dairy testing market expansion. Consumers are more informed and cautious about the food they consume, leading to increased demand for safe, high-quality dairy products, which is achieved through dairy testing. The growing prevalence of food allergies, lactose intolerance, and health-conscious dietary preferences has further created the need for accurate dairy testing. Furthermore, the expanding dairy industry in emerging economies, coupled with a growing preference for functional and fortified dairy products, has amplified the dairy testing market demand.
